Reviews

Chess Informant’s concept has always been about selection – to preserve and highlight the best examples of human creativity.

IM John Donaldson, United States

"Highly recommended. There is enough material here to keep one busy for several months."

Wesley Surber, United States

"Informant skips the drama and the social elements that surround the fame of being a top chess player and focuses attention on the action on the board."

IM John Cox, United Kingdom

"The English-language section of Informant, considered as a magazine covering top-level chess, knocks every other one I've seen into a cocked hat."

Bobby Fischer with
the "Chess Bible"

Chess Informant was considered the chess bible by none other than Bobby Fischer who pored over each issue carefully studying all the games - as shown on the famous "Bobby The Champ" photograph, taken in Reykjavik 1972.
